since the other topic is now kinda used to for giving our condolences to LvL, I thought I'd make a new topic for this

first article

http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/-president-regarding-the-impeachement-and-the-continiuation-of-the-war--1680260/1/20

Dear citizens of eBE

Yesterday our president asked congress to impeach him for personal reasons. http://www.erepublik.com/en/Belgium/law/67593 More information regarding this can be found on eBE forum and I will not go further into detail. All I can add that is that I think I can speak for the whole eBE community when I say that we support his decision and wish him the best of luck in the rough times he has ahead of him IRL.

Now that Congress has finished the impeachment vote, I have been made president. I consider this a somewhat “poisoned gift” considering I’m being thrown in a challenge here and have to step in in a cabinet that isn’t mine and that still needs to bring me up-to-date over what has been done and what hasn’t been done in the past days. I somewhat feel like an architect who is asked to finish a building of which the walls and foundations have already been build by another architect. Nevertheless I see this as a challenge and will do everything in my power to complete it and find a solution for this crisis. Because make no mistake, my friends, we are in the middle of the biggest crisis eBE has had. On several occasions we’ve been very close to the point where we would have been completely wiped out if it weren’t for the huge effort of a few very dedicated players. I’d like to use this opportunity to thank them all.

Now, how will we continue? As soon as I heard I was going to be president, I set up a meeting with the active citizens in our #eBrussels IRC on Rizon (join it if you haven’t already since IRC is a very important tool in these times of war. ) and later invited the French MoD, uMoD and MoFa to this meeting. Here we discussed how to end this war as quickly as possible and after some debating, we came up with a plan. If this plan works and pulls trough, we will hopefully have our regions back in 2 days. Peace will be proposed some time later as the game mechanics don't allow a peace proposal for at least 7 days after a declaration of a Natural enemy

Regarding these meetings: there is a topic on the eBE forum that can be found here http://www.erepbelgium.com/t2498-consensus-between-the-government-and-congress-be-citizens please read it and share your opinion. This is for eBelgian citizens only.

Other news

-I’ve decided that no changes to the cabinet will be made. We have enough to worry about as it is already. Changing ppl at this point would only make the situation more difficult for eBE.

-I’d like call on all citizens to join us on the forum: http://www.erepbelgium.com/

-I’d also like to call on all citizens to join us on IRC (#eBrussels on Rizon) info on how to join IRC can be found on the forum.

Okays, this is my first article as president. Many more will follow in the upcoming days. If you have questions, problems or suggestions, feel free to PM me ingame or on the forum or /query me on IRC.

President of eBelgium

EDIT: to have something that gets us smiling again in these troubled times, I've found this site
http://houbi.com/?tag=yves-leterme

It's in Dutch and the pictures are from Belgian politicians (apologies to all non RL Belgians) but I found it funny enough to share

My next article will contain something that's funny for all eBE citizens.

=> maybe of the recent history, but that's a little bit exagerated Wink

.

By the way it seems that we are loosing flanders atm, I don't know if this was the plan or not ^^.

It's not Jofroi, but it waas planned for the French to win about 2-3 battles so we'll see what support we get from now on.

It's not the plan. But I've talking to the french on IRC all day, telling them that they need to start getting in action. I've talked to both their VP, president, some congress guy and a military guy to remind them that they promised us help yesterday. They said we'll win Flanders. I've also posted 2 messages on their forum asking all citizens to not fight in Flanders and if they have any moving tickets, to move over to eBE and fight for us

if you have an account there, type something as well to ask them for help.

The thing I hate the most about this situation is that we are so dependent of the French. We they have us by the (figuratively speaking) balls and can do with us what they want.

you can also say they can move to hungary! (it is less since you need for that only 1MT)

I think it was the plan... To have Belgium win the battle 123, france 45678, belgium 910111213, or something like that... But the plan wasnt to have us win 8-0...

Dear citizens of eBelgium, dear friends from across the eGlobe

A few hours ago, I have launched the attack on North-de-Calais as a final stage in our French-Belgian plan. This is also the last step in this war before we will be able to sign peace. Use this battle to make good use of the 10% natural enemy bonus you get from this battle.

On a sidenote, this attack didn’t really go 100% as planned.

3.00 AM PRESIDENTIAL PALACE (aka, my home); BELGIUM.

TUUUT-TUUUUUT-TUUUUUT. The sound of my alarm clock woke me up. In a reflex and still half asleep I pushed the big button to shut it down. I looked down to see how late it was and realized it was 3 AM. “Uggh, why did it run off in the middle of the night?... stupid alarm”. Then I realized that I had set it this way coz I had to launch the attack on Nord De Calais. The thought of attacking the French gave me a boner. HMMMMM… finally pay-back… finally we would launch an attack on their soil. I quietly got out of bed and tried not to wake my parents. Everything was set. I left the computer on, the attack page was open… all I needed to do was refresh the page and push the button. Finally… we would attack the French. … hmmm, it was starting to make me horny. My hand slowly went down and I grabbed a bucket. Yea, A hot stud like myself can easily cream a bucket or two. “Hmmmmm, yea. This is going to be the highlight of my day”…. In a way I felt like this was a payback on all the years that teachers forced me to learn French…. God this felt good… slowly I was moving my one hand up and down when my other hand was taking the mouse towards the “refresh” button. With a soft click, my CPU started working… my screen turned white… I saw the “load” bar at the button pop up at the bottom of my firefox screen…. Gawt this is so hawt!!!.... Must restrain myself a few more seconds…. Any moment now the attack screen will load….

A few seconds of disbelieve, incapacity to react and shock where followed by a loud “WOAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” that woke everyone in the presidential palace. With the shock of seeing the headless chicken, both my hopes for a safe eBelgium and my enormous pen0r where shrunk out of proportion.

I raged!!!!

I clicked the refresh button again…. Same result… and again…. Hell I started bashing my mouse like a caffeine junkie bashing a coffeemachine!!!

… then suddenly the attack screen popped up… I quickly pushed the button and the attack on Nord De Calais was launched. While I heard my dad open his safe and load his Glock I realized that I was still standing there with my pen0r in my one hand and my mouse in the other. I quickly jumped in my bed and acted like I was sleeping.

I fell asleep quickly. I saved the day once again. All is well, eBelgium … Your president is watching over you from the rooftops, while you are sleeping…. A guardian… a fearless protector… a man that is enormously big shaped.

Me guarding eBelgium from a rooftop

With love and kissis
